The Benefits of Soy
I
discovered the benefits of soy while researching diet plans and natural
health products for dieting. The more research I did the more intrigued
I became with the possibilities it has for women’s health.
The FDA
says that a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fats along with 25
grams of soy protein per day may lead to a reduction in your chances of
having heart disease. School lunches are permitted by the USDA to use
soy as a protein. Soy may even lower your risk of cancer.
The
benefits of soy have been shown in hundreds of studies. So, why am I
not recommending everyone stop eating meat and switch to soy? My desire
is that this website will be viewed by women as being honest and
reliable. Any product I recommend will be recommended for the purposes
my research shows that it has a good chance of accomplishing. For
purposes of: weight loss; estrogen balancing to help PMS and menopause;
and as a low-fat, high protein supplement I recommend soy as a wonder
supplement.
Isoflavones
in soy have been well researched and shown to help in the replacement
of estrogen that is lowered during menopause. These same isoflavones
help balance the estrogen levels in women suffering from very high
estrogen levels causing PMS.
In good
conscience I can say that soy will help most people obtain their
nutritional health goals as a supplement. The health risks of soy that
keep me from recommending soy as the backbone of your diet are as
follows. Vitamins A, D, B12 and the minerals iron, iodine, and zinc are
not available in significant numbers. In addition it may be true that
soy actually acts as a blocker to the absorption of some minerals.
The basis
for my recommendation of Revival Soy is two fold. First, the benefits
of soy are well documented. Second, consumption of one soy shake or one
bar contains the recommended amount of soy daily. If all or any of the
other claimed benefits of soy are true than you’re in good shape. On
the other ha ...

The Health Risks of Artificial Sweeteners
To
research the health risks artificial sweeteners I examined both sides
of the story. There seems to be no neutral position on any of these
sweeteners.
Sugar has become the #2 dietary concerns, following only fat content.
There are 3
general reasons for using artificial sweeteners; weight loss, dental
hygiene, and for diabetics. Just like almost everything in life used in
moderation there seems to be few health affects.
The
reduction in calories comes from the lower quantity needed to add the
sweet taste. Wanting something sweet is a natural reaction we are born
with. Remember that sugar is a natural product and one that our body is
able to metabolize from birth.
From a
health standpoint I would rather use small amounts of sugar than
manmade sweeteners. Better yet, as many doctors agree, wean yourself
totally off of sweets. The more natural ingredients in our bodies the
easier it is for our bodies to properly metabolize them.
The health risks of artificial sweeteners; too much is bad for you, a little is okay, and none is best.
For dieting purposes we are all going to use some type of artificial sweetener. As I keep repeating on this site you know your body better than anyone.
If you notice any kind of side affect discontinue use for 2 weeks. Than
try it again. If you still have any side affects try a different
sweetener.
Let’s start by listing the major artificial sweetener ingredients and which major brands use each.
Saccharin- FDA approved 1958- found in Sweet ‘N Low (except Canada)
Cyclamate- FDA banned 1969- found in Sweet ‘N Low (Canada only)
Aspartame- FDA approved 1981- found in NutraSweet and Equal
Sucralose- FDA approved 1999- found in Splenda
Neotame- FDA approved 2002- not found in many products yet
Xylitol- used in products for diabetics
The health risks of Sweet ‘N Low
are directly related to saccharin. Saccharin is 300 times as sweet as
sugar. Being the oldest FDA approved swee ...
